A while ago, I tested a Thinkpad T400 under Lenny, which worked quite well. I assume the video chipset is the same. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=513080 The "known stable" and recommended video driver for the T400 is the vesa. (Lenny-and-a-half will provide improved hardware support for Lenny, but I guess it won't be released before the end of the year). > Checking for Xgl: not present. > No whitelisted driver found > aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity However, You might want to try enable Lenny's "intel" driver, which have [untested] support the 4500. That's explained in: http://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Thinkpad/T400/lenny > See Gnome menu>System>Preferences>Screen Resolution. > Personally, I also use lxrandr on my laptop (despite the fact > I use gnome).
